What is x when 22 divided by x equals 1?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 22 and the quotient 1?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 22 ÷ 1 = 22

To prove this, let's compute 22 divided by 22: 22 22 = 1

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 22 divided by x gives a result of 1, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

22 x = 1

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 22 x x = 1 x
  2. 22 x x is equivalent to x x × 22 , which simplifies to 1 × 22 (or just 22 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 22 = 1 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 1: 22 1 = 1 x 1
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 22 = x (or x = 22 )

So, if the dividend is 22 and the quotient is 1, the divisor is 22.
